Hello everyone!
I’ve announced the release date for Gearbits! The game launches on 10.10.2023
Since the last public update, I’ve made some small changes to the game.
Here’s a list:
- Missiles have slightly slower target tracking.
- Enemy GB’s shouldn’t get stuck inside the hangars so easily.
- I’ve added some more ammo pickups on some missions.
- And I fixed a bug where the audio was muted after skipping a cutscene.
The gameplay changes are small, but this update makes a another major change. There is now new artwork for all the characters. My original art was personable, but admittedly amateurish. Now the game has art made by an actual artist. I was hesitant to take outside help because so far Gearbits has been a one man show. Hopefully the results will be worth it. If nothing else, it was a learning experience on how to work with outside help, which will most likely be helpful if I want to keep making games. There is an option to toggle the old art back, if you so desire.
I’ve also got a trailer with some new gameplay footage. Have a look!
